Across Van Nuys, Northridge, Granada Hills, and the rest of the Valley, established board-and-care homes and assisted living sit on valuable residential real estate. I help San Fernando Valley owners sell for full value on the business, the license, and the real estate.
The San Fernando Valley has a deep, established residential care market on high-value real estate.
The Valley's dense senior population and mature neighborhoods support a large base of six-bed board-and-care homes and assisted living. High residential land values mean the real estate is often a major part of a facility's total value, and demand from families keeps well-run homes full.
Buyers underwrite on census, private-pay rates, and licensing, and value the Valley's steady demand and real estate. Clean financials and a clear compliance picture turn that demand into strong offers.
An RCFE is several things in one transaction. These are the pieces I manage so your deal reaches the closing table.
Community Care Licensing approval of your buyer and the change-of-ownership process, coordinated so licensing does not stall the sale.
Occupancy, private-pay rates, and any SSI or waiver residents, the numbers that drive the facility's value.
Caregiver ratios and your certified administrator, the team and compliance a buyer must continue.
Your licensing history and inspection record, presented honestly so buyers and the state see a clean transfer.
The home or building is often central to value. Real estate is handled under my DRE license, #02372118.
Board-and-care, assisted living, or memory care. Acuity and services shape both revenue and the buyer pool.
The San Fernando Valley is where many buyers find their first, or their next, RCFE, and I help them buy well.
I help buyers evaluate census and payor mix, private-pay rates, the licensing and compliance history, staffing and the administrator, and the real estate across the San Fernando Valley, and coordinate the Community Care Licensing change-of-ownership process alongside their consultant. Whether you want a six-bed board-and-care to operate or a larger assisted living community to invest in, I will help you buy the right one at the right terms.

A six-bed board-and-care is usually valued on a multiple of seller's discretionary earnings plus the residential real estate, which is significant given high Valley home values, while larger communities are valued on a cap rate and per bed. Census, private-pay rates, and licensing move the number. A valuation on your actual financials gives the real figure.
Because Valley residential real estate is expensive, the home a six-bed board-and-care operates in often carries substantial value on its own. That is why we value the business and the real estate distinctly, and decide whether to sell them together or lease the property to the new operator.
Yes. A large senior population and strong family demand keep well-run Valley board-and-cares and assisted living full, and buyers value both the steady income and the real estate. Facilities with clean census and licensing draw serious, capable buyers.
Yes. Your sale stays confidential. The RCFE is marketed without naming the location, and every buyer is screened and signs a non-disclosure agreement before they learn which RCFE is for sale, protecting your staff, your revenue, and your standing with any brand or franchisor.
